Happily, there is captive portal style support for our current filtering solution... which is what is making this a possibility. It should be noted that we aren't exactly ecstatic about the idea anyways. But alas, this is but one of the many things we are dealing with, and not the most pressing thing. We have lasted this long without any formal wireless in the schools, we can last a while longer... especially with the ever shrinking budget. "Okay, do you want wireless, or do you want to replace your 5 year old teacher stations?" Actually, the want both and more usually. How do they justify it? Because they have other funding they want to use to expand... *grumble* --Matt Ross Ephrata School District ----- Original Message ----- From: Jonathan Link [mailto:[email protected]] To: NT System Admin Issues [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Fri, 11 Feb 2011 07:31:10 -0800 Subject: Re: Personal phones connecting to your corporate data - how do you handle security? > Very true, but in this case, it's a school.
